Day
# 1 : Arrival
in Loreto day. We meet you at the Loreto, B.C.S. Airport
and your adventure begins. Most people fly into Loreto
using Horizon Air (Alaska Airlines) flight from Los Angeles
direct to Loreto. After getting situated in your rooms
at the El Dorado, we meet for dinner and an
orientation
talk by our own Baja Jones.
Day 2: We meet for breakfast
at 7:00 a.m. and then the group leaves Loreto and drives across
the Peninsula to the town of Guerrero Negro and Laguna Ojo
de Liebre on the West Coast of Baja. We make a leisurely drive
with time to stop for a couple photo ops along the way. Lunch
is usually early in the day at our favorite grilled chicken
restaurant in the town of Santa Rosalia
Day 3: Breakfast
is at 7:00 am then we depart
for whale watching at 8:00 a.m. We normally begin our first
of two whale watching boat trips around 9:30. The
boat trips are normally around 2 hours duration. Regulations
allow 1 1/2 hours in the viewing area.
Aftr the first trip on the water you will enjoy a buffet style lunch spread there
on the shore of the lagoon. You will see spouting and jumping whales while you
sit and eat lunch. One of the only places in the world like this.Today
following breakfast we venture to the outer lagoon. There we expect
to see more mating adults than previous days. Possibly
closer views and more viewing of breaching and tails. Probably
less babies will be seen up close. Afterwards we will
relax at Marios Palapa Restaurant while sipping margaritas
and a truly
Mexican bar-b-que. Margaritas, carne asada, chicken, guacamole,
baked potatoes and a nice sunset will end another exciting day
of whale watching.
The second boat trip generally finishes around 1:00
to 2:00 p.m. We return to the motel and there are usually 1 to 3 hours of free
time before we meet at 6:00 p.m. for dinner..
Day 4: We meet for breakfast
at 7:00 a.m. and the group then departs for whale watching
at 8:00 a.m. Today is expected to be a repeat of Day #2. We return
to that same location for two more boat trips.
Day #5 : Breakfast
will be at 8:00 a.m. Then we depart for Loreto around 9:30
to 10:00 a.m. Our lunch stop will be in the town of Santa
Rosalia at the Pollo Real for the best roast chicken in Baja.
We expect to arrive back in Loreto
around 3:00 or 4:00 pm. This gives you enough time for some
last minute souvenir shopping before dinner.
Day 6: Today is departure
day. Everyone is on their own time to eat breakfast and pack
to leave. Most clients leave on the Alaska Airline flight at
around 2 PM. We arrange your transport from the hotel
to the
airport. |
